Quick Start

Location of Table: Room 12-23[MOU1] 

 

1.       Turn the Anatomage table on by finding the main I/O power switch located at the back & base of the table, next to the power cable (picture below) and flip it towards the I position. Then wait a minute.

2.       Find the toggle switch located towards the middle-side of the table (picture below). Open the flap and move and hold the toggle switch to the left. Afterwords, wait a few minutes for the screen to boot up.

3.       If you get a “No connection error” message, please ignore it unless you are trying to connect a projector/laptop. If the message persists, hold the toggle switch to the left for longer.

Note: It could take an additional 5 minutes before you can tap the screen to launch the software.
If issues persist, contact mededtech@mssm.edu.

4.       When leaving the room, please turn the table off.[KM2] 

·         If you are in the TableEDU app, click the Home button and then select Exit Application

         

·         Tap the Start menu, select Power, then Shutdown like you would with a computer.

·         Wait for the monitor to give the No Signal or No Cable Connected message.

·         Then find the main I/O power switch and flip it towards the O position. (Location details in Step 1)

If you need to use the system in a vertical position, contact mededtech@mssm.edu to request assistance from the Manager of Technology and Learning Environment and the Education Technology Coordinator for Medical Education at least one business day prior.

 

Main Guide

1.       Tap on the desktop icon for the app TableEDU to launch Anatomage.

The menu shown below will appear. We find a lot of value inside the
Functional Anatomy, Cadavers & Case Library categories.

2.       Here is an example of the 3D models you can select from inside of Functional Anatomy:
Pregnancy, Cardiology, Neural Pathways, etc.

 

3.       The basic movements to rotate the 3D image are:

a.       Drag 1 finger across the screen to rotate the model.

b.       Drag 2 fingers across the screen to drag the model.

c.       You can do a pinching motion with your fingers to zoom in and out.

4.       The two bars on the bottom of the menu can help you see all the layers of the human body. Use your finger to move the buttons left or right.

a.       The top button (sun) will hide and reveal soft tissue layers ranging from skin, muscle, organs, and bone.

b.       The bottom button (half moon) hides and reveals vasculature and nerves.

               
  

5.       Use the blue Cutting tool to dissect anywhere on the figure for a cross section. After drawing a line segment, tap on the other side of the line where you want the layers cut away. Use the slider to fill the layers back in, or remove more layers. The red cutting tool has other ways you can dissect the cadaver.

6.       Double tap on any body part to bring up a sub menu. Select the Checkmark button to hide a layer.
The Eye button will give you the full menu of systems, categories, and structures you can toggle on & off.

 

 

Suggested module: Cardiology

This module combines anatomical and physiological concepts which highlight the unique educational value of the Anatomage table.

Inside the model, you can click the BPM (Beats Per Minute) button at the bottom right corner of the window. This will bring up a window with the following options.

·         The ECG & Heart Rate scroll bars can change the BPM

·         You can turn on different animations occurring inside the heart with the ECG Scroll, Conduction, Slow Motion, & Blood Flow checkboxes.

·         Using the ‘sun’ and ‘half-moon’ sliders, you can hide and reveal layers of the heart. In the screen cap below, the heart muscle is hidden so that learners can see the heart’s conductive system.

 

 

Additional Tips & Interactivity

For an explanation of each button on the screen, please access the PDF guide titled
Anatomage Table 10 User Interface Guide

·         You can save the exact setup you created on the screen and come back to it later.
Select the 1,2,3,4 button and then click the Plus button to save your preset.

 

·         You can color code different structures of the body. Once you select a layer, select
the Eye button and then click the Rainbow button to choose your color.

·         You can make layers transparent to see underneath. Select any layer and click the Eye button.
Select the Rainbow button and then select the Transparent button.

 

 

·         You can permanently keep each layer annotated. Double tap on any layer, then select the Annotation button.

·         You can activate a side-by-side CT / MRI view alongside the cadaver. Select the 3rd button from the left menu, then select the Side-by-side button. You can also open a “normal view” as well as a view of the “anomaly”.

·         You can divide the screen into 2, allowing you to load 2 windows simultaneously. Windows can be a combination of Anatomage figures, PDF, Word Documents, etc. Select the Settings button, choose the Window button, and then select the right or left arrowed button.

 [MOU1]You will have to do two routes here. (1) The table will be powered off to power the table on- reach behind the table closest to the wall and turn the table on. (Add picture of on position).

Then toggle (is this needed?).

Wait approximately 5 minutes to allow the table screen to boot up.

 

Open the Anatomage APP.

 

If by chance the table was left on you will have to wake the table from its asleep state.

 

The pictures need to show exactly where the toggle is not just a picture of the toggle.

 [KM2]I think here- you have to go to the start screen like you would on a computer- it turns off and then you turn it off in the back you dont need to toggle to turn off . please add a photo of the screen and how to turn off.
